Idea for a New Year’s Resolution: Try New Greens

Whenever you go to the grocery store or farmers’ market, buy a green leafy vegetable that you haven’t tried before or one that you don’t use on a regular basis. There are so many to try, depending on the season: collards, kale (many kinds), rainbow chard, turnip greens, swiss chard, mustard greens, spinach, cabbage, broccoli rabe, dandelion greens, arugula, etc.

Then use it in a new recipe or incorporate it into a familiar dish. In the spring and summer, grow some leafy greens in your garden, or even in a pot. Hopefully, by the end of the year, you will have incorporated a number of these healthy vegetables into your food repertoire.
